The Darwin's Danger Shield is a craftable secondary weapon for the Sniper class. It appears as a crocodile hide, complete with tail, strung to a wood canvas. A bird skull is tied to the body strap.

Similar to the Razorback, Darwin's Danger Shield is a passive item that provides 25 max health bonus, allowing the player to partake in otherwise fatal areas of combat, such as surviving a fully charged body shot from an enemy Sniper. Unfortunately, the shield does not protect the player from backstabs.
